Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Apollo Books Tracker at 100% against Reading log's 50%. Apollo Books Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). Reading log's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Reading log holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading log has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Reading log's written reviews are positive against 100% of Apollo Books Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Reading log ships an update every 13 months, Apollo Books Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
